Denied
The Board denied service connection for a 6-millimeter nodule on the lung, finding no evidence of a causal relationship between the Veteran's in-service toxic exposure and the lung nodule.
The deciding factor: The February 2024 VA medical opinion concluded that it is less likely than not that the Veteran's lung nodule was caused by his in-service toxic exposures, citing a lack of medical literature supporting such a connection.
